It is r now interesting to know how many f out of this number were actually i passed upon and how many of them t are still left on the dockets to be dis- i posed of. it is interesting to note in t this connection that something less than half of the cases on the docket 1 got placed on the roster when the e lawyers met sometime before court. |( Following are the cases actually tried and what became o fthem: 1 v John T. Floyd vs. William Page for 1 recovery of real estate. The plaintiff won the land and damages of $500.00. t The defendant has entered suit against Floyd for $40,000,00 improve- t ments and has given notice of appeal ' to the Supreme Court. ' 2 a W. L. Mishoe vs Atlantic Coast J Line Railroad Company. The plaintiff claimed damages to the amount of r $1,500.00. The jury could not agree ^ and a mistrial was ordered. The case ' and what became of them. 3 Johnson Pfiint Co. vs. J. J. Goff. This concerned the sale of a lot of paint to the defendant. The jury found j' for the defendant. A motion for a new 1 trial is pending and the court has in- 8 timated its opinion to be that a ver- *' diet should have been directed for the " plaintiff. 4 N. Feldman vs. Solomon Scherr. y This was a suit on a book account " which resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $765.57. , 5 : A. J. Watts vs. Jesse Arnette re- r suited in a verdict for the plaintiff for t the land in dispute without any dam- ' age. Suits for betterments are now on file and an appeal will be taken to the } Supreme Court. 6 The case of J. T. Mishoe vs. Trexler r .Lumber Company was submitted toj' the court and a jury did not pass on * it. The decision will come out later. 7 f J. W. Porter vs. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company resulted in a verdict for the value of a bale of cotton that Porter claimed he left at the depot at Loris. 8 " Tn the case of Jos. W. Holliday against T. J. Bell and others, after the triul had been started Judge ' Shipn recalled that he was related to Mr. Hollid iv by marriage and the case ] was withdraw from the jury on that account and will be disposed of next time. 9 1 M. B. Thompson vs A. C. Thompson, the jury found for the plaintiff the 1 sum of $500.00. Late in the last week of the court after hearing1 arguments, Judge Shipp granted an order giving a new trial unless the defendant, A. C. Thompson, will agree to pay the sum $2500.00 and interest at 7 percent from Julv 31st, 1919, and which makes about $3250.00 to be paid, or the case will be tried over. 10 , Cooper-Smith Company had rases against R. L. Hell, O. J. Hell and J. L. Bell on account and the defendants claimed they had left cotton with the plaintiff which was sold unlawfully and they denied that they owed anything on the accounts. These cases were all tried together at the :? me time and the jury found three verdicts for the plaintiff and against the defendants as follows: O. J. Bell $1030.64; R. L. Bell $1294.02; Estate of J. L. Bell $1396 32. It was found that the jury had made a slight error in calculating the interest on the account in each case so that an order was signed by the Judge requiring the plaintiff to 11 '1 x / L ~ r remit a small amount irom uucii cm i these verdicts and the plaintiff agreed to that and judgments will be entered for the following amounts net with the cost, of course, to he added: O. J. Bell $996.70; R. L. Bell $1260.07; Estate of J. L .Bell $13.00.53. It may he that these cases will he appealed to the Supreme Court hut Judge Shipp refused to grant new trials. 11 M. M.

The trouble with most thin folks, who wish to gain weight, is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh creams," or following some foolish physical culture stunt while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract properly assimilates the food you eat. Drink a glass of cold water four or five times a day and take tho following preparation, known to reliable druggist* almost everywhere, which seemingly embodies the missing elements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation is called Prunitone, and much remarkable testimony is given as to its successful use in flesh building. Prunitone taken at meals to prepare fat, flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can readily accept and carry them to the starved portion of the body. You can readily picture the transformation that additional and previously . lacking fleshmaking material shoiwl bring to your cheeks, filling out hollows about your neck nad shoulders, and your taking on from 15 to 30 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Prunitone is harmless, inexpensive, efficient. Piatt's Pharmacy, Conway, S. 0., and Harrelson's Pharmacy, Tabor, N. C., are selling quantities of it to their customers daily. If you need a tonic try it at once. Caution:.. Prunitone is recommended only as a fle^h builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired. ?Adv.
